Laura and Kasey

Ashley and I photographed Laura and Kasey's Ankeny wedding on August 6th. It was one of those days where everything came together perfectly and we encountered no problems. The wedding was in Ankeny, but the reception was at Kasey's family winery. Ashley and I found a field we really liked on the way to the winery and we headed there to take photos as well. Laura and Kasey were great to work with and the photos speak for themselves...not much I can say...

Jenni and Micah

Jenni and Micah had the hottest wedding of the year by a wide margin. It was a swealtering July day. It was 'carry a hand towel with you' hot. It was 'cook an egg on the side walk' and' bake cookies in your car window' hot. It was 'catch ants on fire with a magnifying glass' hot. The most amazing part was that this wedding party was taking it all in stride. Like it was 65 and breezy, but with a bunch of sweat.


We shot Jenni and Micah's first sight downtown at the sculpture garden and followed that up with photos in the area around there as well as the Meredith building area. We really like shooting in that area now. It is easy to get some great photos in a quick amount of time. On a wedding day time is extremely important because everything is so planned out. We also had a little drive down to St. Charles, IA to Two Saints Winery for the ceremony and reception. (Where I had an encounter with some very cooperative rings and a cork.)


The ceremony was outside and it was hot. The sun was as high in the sky as it gets and beating down with a ferociousness I can't explain. The beauty of the whole scene was that everyone was taking it all very well. The ceremony went off beautifully and everyone headed into the air conditioned winery for the reception. We had a great time with Jenni and Micah as well as their families and bridal party. Congratulations!
